2025 Sponsorship Opportunities

Support HART’s biggest fundraising event of the year & gain valuable community exposure while helping HART cats!

HART’s Yard Sale fills the 10,000-square-foot Exhibition Hall at the Cumberland Fairgrounds with treasures donated by our community. In 2024, we had our most successful event yet, raising over $80,000 to support the hundreds of cats we care for annually. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of our Development Team, the Yard Sale receives extensive local media coverage (see bottom of this webpage), boosting both event attendance and HART’s visibility within the community.

Hosting an event of this scale comes with costs, and we rely on our Corporate Partners to help offset expenses, ensuring that the maximum proceeds go directly toward our mission.

By sponsoring HART’s Yard Sale, your company or organization will gain valuable exposure through our extensive promotional efforts while supporting an organization whose existence is vital to the welfare of cats in need. Learn more about our sponsorship opportunities and sign up below.
